Join seminar on  carbon's role in green capitalism
The Center for Climate IT is pleased to invite you to a seminar about carbon emissions and green capitalism.

The seminar will take place on 9 November in Auditorium 4 between 12:00 and 13:00 and is open to all.

The carbon held in forests has new economic value in market-based efforts to combat climate change, which, through the offset market, have created a 'green' form of capitalism.

Making forest carbon valuable entails not only standardizing work, but also place-specific relational work that keeps carbon in place in living forests.

Through the analysis of a government program in the Brazilian Amazon, Maron Greenleaf studies how carbon becomes a public resource in a nascent environmentally-premised welfare state
